One of the first peregrine falcons hatched at the Dukovany nuclear power plant, in 2020, is in a rescue centre after being discovered with shotgun injuries.
Sixteen falcon chicks have been successfully hatched from across Czech energy group ČEZs power plants this year, bringing the total to 163 since the programme began in 2011.
A record total of 33 falcons were born at power plants in the Czech Republic this year, including three at the Temelin nuclear power plant and four at the Dukovany nuclear power plant.
